Maybe they have a six year old phone and are interested in upgrading? I don’t think that many people are doing yearly upgrades nowadays, it’s expensive and pointless.
Not even six. I switched from SE 2020 to 15 pro. The battery was awful. This one should easy last me till the next major change, which is replaceable batteries forced by EU.
This is my situation. My SE 2020 battery is complete shit, and the screen is getting more messed up by the day, with two permanent thin lines going down the center of the phone. I’m a reluctant Apple user, but I think I need to upgrade–and I’ve been eyeing the 15 Pro. I’d like it to last a while. How are you liking it?
So smoooooth compared to the SE. Night and day. I love it. The island is fun to watch (when music is playing the waveform actually reacts to it, it’s not a looped animation :3). Finally I don’t need the lighting cable. I charge the battery to 80% overnight, from 7:30am to now (11:43pm), without charging during the day, now I have 26%. Although that’s after 3h of screen time + AOD. No overheating so far, and idk if the back will break, I’m not planning on bending the phone lol. Can’t say much about the titanium as I’m always wearing a case (shoutout Spigen <3). Face ID is so much better than Touch ID. As long as you don’t wear sunglasses glasses (maybe I need to create another profile). The cameras are fun for a bit but they’re a gimmick after a while for me. The selfie camera is MUCH better and so is low light performance. I don’t like that it’s hard to reach notifications and control centre, but ig that’s the price of a bigger screen. Sorry for jumping from topic to topic lol. Let me know if you have any more questions ;)
Ahh thank you for all the details! You called out all the stuff I care about, I think I’m sold. I’m psyched about the USB C cable, that’s the main reason I haven’t just gone for a 14. I was and still am a little worried about Face ID though, I never had any problems with Touch ID and thought I might miss it. I don’t want my phone to have to look at me before it unlocks…seems weird. Whatever, gotta give up something. Might just switch back to a PIN.

I’ve got a 12 and will be upgrading to a 15 Pro mainly due to my current phone having a scratch and I really want the USB-C charging option so that I can finally have a single charger type for everything.
Outside of the USB-C change, I don’t see much of a difference between my current 12 and the base 15, hence why I’m going for the 15 Pro. If not for the USB-C, I’d be sticking with my lightly-scratched 12.
Always on portrait mode is a killer feature for me 😄
Why not use an Android phone? All of them have been using USB-C for ages, and they generally have more options for privacy and customisation.
Updated from iPhone X to 14pro.
Even then why have yearly releases if a phone release can last 2 years easily, but no they need the newest possible tech that only scales in increments.
Because with almost billion iPhone users you could still have several million sales even if your entire customer base for your new phone are upgrading from old phones?
Or in short; it’s profitable enough to keep doing that.
Though we’ve clearly gotten to a point where twice-yearly releases aren’t worth it.
True, but with a two year release people would just take that phone instead of the newly released one.
If year to year sales were to not be profitable enough they might do that. As it stands development of a new phone is clearly not cutting into the margins enough to make an annual release not worth it.
